Opposite is the main beach. It is still very convenient to play the beach and the sea. The restaurant has a 180-degree floor view. You can enjoy it at breakfast. It is really good. There is a free low parking garage. It is two standard rooms connected together, which is really good. The bed in the standard room is very large, which is very convenient for family use. It ’s important to say that the hotel ’s restaurant service is really good. When I arrived at the hotel, one of my noodle cooker lines fell into the previous hotel and I went back to get it for another 2-3 hours. Later, I negotiated with the restaurant. Since the restaurant ca n’t cook takeaway food, the manager helped me think of a way to soak the noodles in hot water and then turn them in the microwave. Finally, Erbao had noodles and was happy. Wonderful. There are some shopping malls near the hotel, you need to go a little earlier, and there are many Chinese shops, dim sum shops and Japanese food shops, as well as spicy spicy pots. The closer you are to Sydney, the more Chinese food features appear. The ice cream shop opposite the hotel must go, go early in the evening, usually Australian shops open late in the morning, especially on weekends, and close at 8-9 in the evening.

For a hostel, the Newcastle Beach YHA is a great value for money. Location is perfect, 5 minute walk to the beach, right off the light rail from the train station and overall quiet (minus weekends). The vintage home has great curb appeal and is in overall good condition inside. The stained glass windows, deep couches and foyer/staircase are very comfortable to relax in. Kitchen is a little tired but overall in good condition and well stocked. Laundry worked well too and powder is available for sale. The bedrooms can get really warm and stuffy, even with the window open. And with no air con, summer would be hot here. Good storage with outlets in the rooms but the bed squeak and move around a lot of both bunks are filled. WiFi works well in the common space too. And the hostel has activities during the week, like a free sausage sizzle, which was fun. My only quibble was how well the WHV kids living there cleaned the place. Watching a few of them while eating or cooking, it seemed like a quick touch and go job. Kitchen doesn’t seem to be cleaned out regularly as I could smell rotting food regularly in the fridge. Would recommend it and would stay again, but if you want quieter atmosphere, don’t go on weekends.

The hotel is very general, listed four stars, but it is actually far from the international four-star level. The room is very small, but the facilities are general, the floor is below five floors, so any room type booked can not see the sea view. The room was very poor, the tea cups didn't feel washed, and the tea stains that were easy to clean were clearly visible. The tabletop of the room is covered with floating dust, and fine yellow hair can be seen on the bathroom wall.

The first stop from Sydney to Brisbane, a very good hotel apartment. The front desk reminded that parking is free on the roadside from 5pm to 9am the next day. The facilities are complete, the sound insulation is very good, the air conditioning at the entrance and the music are all ready. Satisfied

We enjoyed our stay, had 2 different nice generous rooms in a traditional pub. In the bigger one you couldn't open the windows (I like fresh air at night) but it was a hot air con night anyway, so all good. Parking requires a bit of smartness, if you don't want to pay meters look up the hill. The Grand is only two blocks from the beach and one block from two very good coffee places plus plenty of restaurants. Nice draft beers downstairs.

Very impressed with hotel itself and reception staff, they went out of their way to ensure we were being looked after. We got a call ahead of check in to advise us we may want to reserve a table for dinner and then called us ahead of check in time to let us know our room was ready early.

Awesome accommodation, amazing and compassionate staff (especially Demi). The rooms are always clean. There can be better rooms for the same price/cheaper elsewhere but I always prioritise The Lucky when booking as they always look after us. Additional bonus, they have a lift for accessibility.

Great location, easy remote operated check in service. Communal area presented well. The lift worked to go upwards from ground to level one, but it wasn’t functioning when we left (downwards function from level one to ground). Room 1 - upon entering had a horrible dirty shoe smell. It has a major shower drainage problem where the fall of the shower floor runs into the room, possibly over time water on the carpet is causing the constant smell. The hand basin drain was also blocked. The renovation was modern, however the wear and tear is now evident. Could do with a bond clean and some maintenance. The ratings could improve easily if maintenance and cleanliness were addressed because the service and location are great.
